Regardless of political affiliation or leanings for this election, it's hard to deny that adopting an animal from a shelter is the best idea for any current or potential pet parent. But more on shelters and animal rescue in subsequent posts...
Here's the summary on why I mention Obama and adopting animals from shelters in the same post: Sen. Obama has promised one of his children that they'll get a family dog in November. The AKC came forward with recommended breeds, which naturally caused the national shelter advocacy groups to take notice. I firmly believe - as a parent of four rescued animals, a shelter volunteer, and an avid recylcer - that adopting from a shelter is the way to go. Plus, with such a public figure being an advocate as a first-time adopter, this could be a huge push forward for rescue groups.
If you also agree (which I'm hoping you do because you're reading a green post), you can sign a petition to this effect online. It can be found here, along with other great information about why to adopt and do your part to help companion animals find their forever homes.
As the motto for our shelter goes, "True Love is Rescued."
